Their EV market is pretty competitive, and they have multiple brands all releasing EVs. Nio, BYD, and Xpeng come to mind. Compare to the US, where we only have one EV maker with a decent market share (Tesla) which has stagnated in innovatio

I saw someone mention Avante on here a few days ago, which looks like it tries to emulate the Cursor experience in Neovim. Might be worth a look: https://github.com/yetone/avante.nvim

Not sure what the goal is with Codex CLI. It's not running a local LLM right, just a CLI to make API calls from the terminal?

My problem with large-scale market regulation is that it also increases the price of inputs for companies who would otherwise be interested in building a factory in the US. Do you have a solution for that?

Based on my reading of the XKCD on radiation[1], it would take about 250 mammograms to cause a noticeable increase in cancer risk. And you also have to remember that the whole point of getting the mammogram is to catch breast cancer early w

Well, I must admit that is true, but I guess that 20% of the annual budget going toward interest feels likean impossibly large fraction to overcome. But yes, theoretically, if GDP grew by 300% in the next year, the debt would shrink proport
